Lithium production wasnât always this simple, or this cheap. For almost half a century, starting in the early 1950s, the worldâs primary source of lithium was North Carolina, much of it from a mine in the town of Kings Mountain.
Research institutions are developing technology to draw lithium from seawater. China is the largest consumer of lithium, and hoarding is suspected. The Chinese believe that future cars will run on Li-ion batteries and an unbridled supply of lithium is important to them.t takes 750 tons of brine, the base of lithium, and 24 months of preparation to get one ton of lithium in Latin America.
